I just know to put my phone away if someone is speaking to me.
In all seriousness, though, the facts are no one actually knows how this will transform Canada, what the electoral system will look like here, and I can think of nothing that is more paternalistic and insulting to Canada or to Canadians than to say, “By the way, I believe in democracy, but I don't trust the most democratic tool that's available to us, which is a referendum.”
I believe this is something we should hold near and dear to our hearts. We should listen to Canadians, and if we truly trust democracy, then we should trust the most democratic tool available to us, which is a referendum.
Electoral reform is a low priority item for a majority of Canadians, and it has the potential to change our country for a long time. If you respect the significance of what we're embarking upon, trust in the electorate, as the electorate is never wrong, and then table a referendum.
